pe Lesson Plan Course Title: Session Title: Printing & Imaging Technology Advertising: Flyers and * This is Lesson #22 if used as part of the overall unit on Printing & Imaging Technology. This lesson establishes the criteria for the final Desktop Publishing Project, but may be taught as a stand-alone project if desired. Lesson Duration: Approximately two to four 90-minute class periods [Lesson length is subjective and will vary from instructor to instructor] Project overview: Days 1-2: Understand criteria for creating advertising flyers and postcards for final project s event Days 3-4: Students create and print a 2 sided postcard in a 4-up layout, using concepts learned in Setting up a Notepad Lesson #16 Performance Objective: Upon completion of this assignment, the student will create a 2 sided postcard advertising their final project s event. Students will print enough postcards for everyone in the class including the teacher. Specific Objectives: 1. Create a 2 sided postcard advertising the event for the students final project program. 2. Using the 4-up layout, print enough postcards for every classmate and the teacher. 3. Meet the established criteria for creating postcards to advertise the final project s event.

Instructor/Trainer References: Industry standard software: Help menu or Tutorial Author s expertise Instructional Aids: Advertising the Event slide presentation Flyers and Rubric Materials Needed: Industry standard desktop publishing software Examples of advertising flyers, brochures, postcards, etc. Equipment Needed: Computer and projection system with appropriate software to display slide presentation Classroom set of computers with Industry standard desktop publishing software Learner Recommended: Completion of previous lessons in the project sequence. Introduction Introduction (LSI Quadrant I): ASK: Now that you have created a program, how do you get people to come to your event? (let the students give ideas before starting the slide presentation) SAY: You need to advertise your event. One way to advertise is to create an Event Flyer. Outline Outline (LSI Quadrant II): Instructor Notes: I. Event Flyers come in many shapes, sizes and styles: A. B. Brochures C. Pamphlets D. Posters II. Some Event Flyers only have information on one side: A. Pamphlets B. Posters III. Other Event Flyers have information on both sides: A. B. Brochures Note: Use the slide presentation to go over each point to help students understand the different kinds of Event Flyers and the criteria for creating one to advertise their event. Ask the students to name or describe different Event Flyers that they have seen. Was there information on both sides? (Show examples if you have them.) Regarding 2 sided event flyers, ask students if they ever opened up a brochure to 2
IV. Criteria for : A. should be 2 sided; 4 x 5 B. Use logo and imagery from the event program s front cover C. Date and Location should be on the front D. Choose information to put on the back (for example) a. Schedule of Events b. Map of the Venue c. Sponsor List E. Add an event description to get people to come to the event F. Using the 4-up layout from the Setting up the Notepad Lesson #16, print enough postcards for every classmate and the teacher read what was inside. Why or why not? Along the same lines, did they turn the postcard over to see what was on the other side? Why or why not? Note: The criteria listed here are to help students see the scope of the work ahead. Information placed on the back of the postcard should be relevant to the event. The event description should be checked for spelling, just like the elements and text in the final program. The slide presentation shows the dimensions from the Setting up the Notepad Lesson #16. The students will need to determine how to print on both sides of the postcard so the information is not upside down on one side. This is affected by the way the paper is fed into the printer. Application Guided Practice (LSI Quadrant III): Help students understand some differences between single sided and double sided Event Flyers. Make sure students know the criteria for creating a postcard to advertise the event of their program. Discuss the dimensions of the postcards and how they should be printed using the 4-up concept developed in the Setting up a Notepad Lesson #16. Encourage students to be creative in creating a description of their event so it will draw attention. Make sure students know how many postcards to print. Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III): 3
Students will use the logo and imagery from their programs to create a two-sided postcard that is 4 x 5. They will also add an event description to their postcards. Students will use industry standard desktop publishing software to complete the postcard design. They will use the 4-up layout directions from Lesson #16 and print enough copies for every classmate and the teacher to have a copy. Summary Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV): Review the criteria for creating a postcard to advertise an event. Review the dimensions for advertising postcards and how to print both sides of a 4- up layout. Observe students progress, ask questions, and encourage creativity as they lay out the design for a postcard that will advertise their event. Evaluation Informal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III): Teacher will monitor the students progress while they use the desktop publishing software to create and lay out all of the elements for their postcards. The teacher will: make sure students understand the criteria for creating the postcards. make sure students know how to print on both sides of the 4-up layout. Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV): The teacher will use the Flyers and Rubric to evaluate the postcards submitted by the students. The teacher should also conference with each student to provide one-on-one feedback of the student s work. Extension Extension/Enrichment (LSI Quadrant IV): Students may wish to get their postcards laminated for a higher quality look and feel or they may wish to create and print an event poster (at least 8.5 x 11 ) using their logo, imagery, event date and location, and their new event description. 4
